I posted this in Next Steps as well, but I have also been receiving requests for information on using bystander strategies with elementary school age children as well. Would love to know if there is anything out there now or if there are things in the works for this age group.

I believe that MVP has been doing work with this age group. Also, I think Foshee's Safe Dates is for middle and high school age? Not sure to what extent that program has bystander related focus, though I do know their program works to engage the whole community (parents, others) in prevention. And I know that program has alot of empirical evaluation and support.
